Working in Tunbridge Wells
As well as Tunbridge Wells itself (TN1, TN3 and TN4), we survey in Tonbridge, Crowborough and Sevenoaks.
Homes in and around Tunbridge Wells vary, so we look at the floor, the walls and the water system before we price anything. We quote new en-suites in Tunbridge Wells only after checking the drainage route on site, so the price reflects the work your house actually needs. If you live in a Tunbridge Wells flat, check the lease before planning a new en-suite, as freeholder consent is often needed for new drainage and vents.
Most of Kent has very hard water. If your supply in Tunbridge Wells is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.
What the job includes
- Tiling, silicone, testing and making good on the bedroom side of any new walls
- A survey that traces the route from the en-suite to the soil stack and checks the fall the waste pipes would need
- A shower tray or level-access former, an enclosure or walk-in panel, and a thermostatic valve
- A short-projection or wall-hung WC and a compact basin chosen to keep the floor clear
Decisions to make first
Night lighting
A mirror light or low-level LED strip on its own switch lets you use the en-suite at night without the full glare of the ceiling lights.
Noise
Acoustic insulation in the stud walls and a quiet fan make a real difference when one of you showers early while the other is still asleep.
Rules that apply in England
In England, a new en-suite brings in Part H for the new connection to the soil stack, Approved Document F for ventilation, at 15 litres per second intermittent or 8 litres per second continuous extract, and Part P for the new circuits. The electrician should be registered with a competent person scheme, or the work notified to building control. On a refit, avoid replacing the fan with a less effective one.
